How much water do the data centres use? It’s a secret The AI companies insist: we barely use water, hardly a drop! But we won’t tell you how much water we use. And we’ll take you to court to stop you from finding out. Google wants to build a new data …

Incredible rainfall totals & wind gusts in Hawaii. FEET of rain and snow on the mountaintops. More snow that I've ever seen on their webcams. Worst storm I've seen there in recent memory. www.accuweather.com/en/weather-f...

Forgot about this curtain call. Incredible talent and size disparities. The smallest person on stage was an NBA player.
The tallest person on stage is a bass guitar player.

Headline: Trump stepped on a rake and it slammed into his face, causing him to stumble around and step on a different smaller rake, which slammed into his balls

Comment: He probably owns stock in rake companies. He and his pals are getting rich

A waddle of Magellanic penguins are hanging out on a group of snow covered boulders. 

These guys don't live in Antarctica proper, but they do live in very cold climates.
